Planets Around Us (1962) - full transcript

This is quite an
aircraft going to land.

Report to the commander.

Going to land now.

Robert, put it on.

There it is.

Attention control tower.

148 wishes to land and
is on course 232 now.

Passengers.

Look.

It's been blocked.

That's another signal.



The controls are blocked.

S.O.S.

148.

Answer!

We're going down!

Tangiers, the crash
of a private airplane

was reported in the Sahara
desert this morning.

On board, in addition
to two pilots,

was the noted physicist Professor
Landersen and his son Robert.

The cause of the crash is unknown.

All are presumed dead, although
the body of Robert Landersen

has mysteriously disappeared.

Moscow, the Russians
formally announced today

that they intend to send
another man into space.



The launching will be
attempted next month.

May 10th, Cape Canaveral.

Mysterious explosion of
a Titan rocket.

May 10th, Atomgrad.

Satellite lasted five minutes
before planned launching.

May 10th, Nevada.

Mysterious fire completely
destroys atomic installation.

May 10th, London.

British spacecraft in
unexplained disaster.

Gentlemen, our governments
have ordered us to meet

in order to solve the series
of unexplainable disasters

that have recently taken place.

Even as I speak to you,
we are fighting to control

the enormous fire that has
destroyed our Nevada installations.

As you know, this was
followed several hours later

by explosions in Cape
Canaveral and Atomgrad.

The situation is most serious,
and we must confront it together.

I'll speak later.

It's very plain to
my country what it is.

Sabotage.

But what country would
be interested

in destroying weapons in
America, and in the Soviet?

Professor Miller.

Now Washington has sent him
down and I'd like you to hear him.

Please.

Gentlemen, I shall begin
by showing you some films

which have been dispatched to me
from the National Security Agency,

from the Soviet Secret Service

and from our own
intelligence department.

Now this film was shot
shortly before the explosion

of May 10th at Cape Canaveral.

Notice the man in the center.

Atomgrad testing site in Russia,
May 10th.

As you can see, the same person.

And now in Nevada, the
same day, and the same man.

In each one of the disasters
which have occurred

in the last few days, the
respective security forces

have noticed the presence
of this individual,

who after every one of
the explosions

vanished without leaving a trace.

There's another baffling factor.

Meanwhile, each one of the
nation's top military commands

was aware of some puzzling
breakdown in its radar system.

But even more fantastic,
and listen well,

each one of the scenes I
have just run off

showing the mysterious observer

was filmed at those widely-separated
missile sites on the same day.

That is, not only on the same day,

gentlemen, I would say not
even hours, but minutes elapsed

between the taking of those
films I have just shown you.

It's impossible for a man to
travel distances like that in one day.

It's absurd to think a
human being...

But is he human?

Or is he supernatural?

A thing of which we know nothing.

Belonging to another planet?

Nonsense.

I agree it sounds crazy.

Almost any theory might
be considered.

Right now we haven't got
one logical explanation.

I wanna show you just one scene.

Sorry, you're all wrong.

That was Robert Landersen, who
was killed in a plane crash

over the Sahara desert a
few months ago,

together with his father,
the famous atomic scientist.

But see here, the man in
the picture is so like Robert.

The resemblance might
be only a coincidence.

But when Professor
Landersen's plane crashed,

all radar receivers in the area
were unexplainably knocked out.

The same thing happened immediately
before all the recent disasters.

You think, then, there
is a connection

between the plane crash and
the disasters in some way.

Absolutely.

I am convinced that the
striking resemblance

between our suspect and
young Landersen

is the key to the entire case.

The danger persists unless
he's captured, doesn't it?

If you can get hold of his
picture, you can get him.

I'll warn the police now that...

My dear general.

We all have tremendous respect
for your police efficiency,

but our losses have been
enormously expensive.

It's evident the man has
unknown weapons in his hands

that are useless to fight against.

We shall do whatever you want.

Anything you suggest, Professor?

First we must locate him.

We must find out all we
can about him.

Exactly who he is, what
purpose he has.

Then maybe we can
take some action.

Yes, of course, but how?

First, we must warn the security
department of every known state.

Set up a constant,
worldwide control.

It is most important
that I be notified

the minute this man is
found, or that there is

a radar breakdown anywhere.

I shall instantly fly
wherever necessary,

and make every effort to
solve the secret

of this man's, this being's power.

What's the mixture now, Cassoni?

3%, shall I add more?

Surely.

Be sure to go slowly.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Before you get to 6%.

This new combination now
takes effect instantaneously.

Cut the gas, and add the oxygen.

Months of experiment,
and finally we succeeded.

Don't you know what a
weapon we've got?

Professor Borri, this
gas is able to paralyze

an entire city for two
or three days.

Good day, Professor.

- Thank you.
- Good day.

- Hello Marina.
- Hello.

Waiting long?

No.

Be honest now, which do
you need more?

Your fiancee, or her car?

Come on, Marina.

I always need you.

But my car's in the shop,
you know that.

Yes, I know.

For a whole month.

Yes, but to stay on your good side,
I pay all your parking tickets.

Where do you want to go?

To the club.

I have an appointment with Audrey.

That crazy girl again.

Yes, that's right.

Well, all right.

On to the club.

Reporting unidentified
aircraft proceeding north.

Reporting unidentified
aircraft proceeding north.

What's this?

It's blocked.

Tell Lieutenant right away.

Lieutenant, it's the
same thing as yesterday,

our radar's been interrupted.

Are you sure?

We were following a plane,
trying to identify it,

when suddenly it blocked.

Hello, Control?

Our screen's blocked again.

Can you follow that plane?

It's impossible, there's some
strong magnetic interference.

Our machines here show nothing.

I see.

Wait outside.

Operator, let me talk to
Major Michelotti.

Emergency!

Major Michelotti.

Major Michelotti is
wanted on the telephone.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Major Michelotti.

You win.

Then why the hurry?

Why are you running off like this?

War hasn't broken out, has it?

Oh no no, I hope not.

Pity, another disappointment.

I really could've had
him at my feet,

but they always have
another appointment.

But Audrey, do you know who he is?

No.

But he's the only man I've
seen here today

that I could be interested in.

Well, there's always tomorrow.

Oh, I've shocked the
professor now.

Oh, I do beg your pardon.

Ah, but then all your
biology study

should've made you realize
there is such a thing as sex,

don't you think so?

We're not in the laboratory.

Go on defending your man
no matter what, Marina,

and keep saying the
professor is right.

You have quite a surprise
in store for you, dear.

You're liable to spend your honeymoon
contemplating the bees anyway.

I'm going, it's late.

Wait a little, dear.

I'll take you back.

No, I better take a taxi.

Audrey, give up the gin.

Alcohol's killed off
better painters than you.

That's biological.

Yes.

Yes, well I'll come immediately.

- But...
- Taxi.

Quickly, to the
Ministry of Defense.

Hey, hold it.

Please.

Did you ask me for my portrait?

I've got no use for it.

I'm Audrey Bradbury.

Sometimes it happens that a
person's face inspires a portrait.

Not of me.

It's the police, we
should get out of here.

It's better not to get
mixed up in these things.

Now tell me what they call you.

My name's Bronco.

Slavic?

Yes, originally.

But that's all in the past.

You haven't seen me before today.

No.

I wouldn't forget if I had.

I rarely meet anyone as
special as you.

Your eyes have a mystery
I want to unravel.

I want to find out why
it is you're afraid.

In bed, of course.

I had to get you to go along.

Getting models like
you isn't easy.

So I put on a wash of cerulean
blue and thought it was a seascape.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello there.

She certainly
knows how to pick them.

Come on.

Why do you say that?

Here we are, Bronco.

Let's go up to the studio.

We can't afford the taxes, eh?

Third time this month.

Yeah, sure, and the same
policeman picking us up

because we don't pay protection.

You keep on, you know
where you'll end up.

But that's honest work I
have with an English painter.

She thinks I'm extraordinary.

That's what we all are, models.

What do you think?

She models every day.

I'd like to see some of her poses.

It's a good thing she
wears clothes.

Wait a minute, I'll show you.

I want you to take a look.

Here's some of the
papers that she draws on.

See?

Just like she told you.

But this one isn't you.

That's a man.

Here.

Ah, he was just
standing there today.

He went off with the painter
when they were raiding the street.

Take 'em away.

Come on, madame.

If located, notify police
headquarters immediately.

Captain Carloni.

This man is dangerous.

Operator, get me extension
26, Captain Carloni.

I'll put you through right away.

Captain, the telephone.

Hello, Captain Carloni,
headquarters speaking.

The vice squad?

What's this about?

Just a minute.

A painter, Audrey Bradbury.

No, no, you'd better
leave it to us.

We'll look into it, thank you.

Thank you.

It was about our man, I think
it's worth looking into.

I must say, I can't believe it.

Anyway, call Captain Clark,
US Embassy.

Yes sir.

Carbonelli, come in here to me.

Captain.

Send out the alarm.

Alert all districts.

Yes sir.

I want Captain Clark.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Viamaguda 23.

Your men will be stationed
in the center of the city?

I'll be there.

Jack?

The telecamera and transistor.

Viamaguda 23.

Sir, is that it?

Yes, thank you.

The child of the ocean.

Or a portrait to reveal
your feelings.

I imagine it that only
in her jade eyes

was there a world as
mysterious as I see in yours.

But not now.

There it is.

Don't you feel it?

I have the title for
your portrait.

Bronco, man of many mysteries.

And I'm determined to unlock
and solve all those mysteries.

Who was it today who
called the police?

The black marketeers gather
at that place near the river

and it always happens.

Tell me, what Earth
do you inhabit?

Never had a drop of
whiskey, never heard of

the black market and police?

And even after I've told you,
I never see a change on your face.

I must know your mystery.

I just need more time.

But time's precious for me,
you know.

Who is that?

That's Marina.

She's engaged to Professor
Borri, a scientist.

Scientist?

Are you interested in
the model or the artist?

In her.

Marina?

Is she married?

Pretty, rich, and
wouldn't appeal to you.

To Borri.

No, Borri's her fiance.

You surprised?

Look, I'm invited to a
big party tonight,

and I know that she's coming.

Do you want to go out?

Only I'm determined to
save you for myself.

You'll bring me?

Certainly.

Except you're not going
to escape me.

Let's go.

I want you to meet
our new butlers.

This is Fulco and this is Vicenzo.

Now don't steal them
like you did the others.

Of course not darling,
we'll behave like angels.

Tell me, what do you think of the
new man Audrey brought tonight?

I must say he looks like
something Vidalli dreamed up.

Too spooky.

Don't play the intellectual.

You really don't do it well,
darling.

As a model he's
interesting, but as a man

- I couldn't judge.
- How do you say that?

I haven't met him yet.

I'd like to know what
Audrey thinks.

Extraordinary.

Inconceivable.

Just marvelous.

Well, you might take
me over and introduce me.

I'm curious.

Bronco.

I'd like you to meet a friend.

Looking over the pool, huh?

I had it constructed this year
instead of getting myself a new mink.

Better than that.

I see.

But wasn't that good?

I don't know much about minks.

What are they?

- I couldn't see...
- Hello Marina.

Hello friends.

- Anybody see Audrey?
- Over there.

I want my portrait, show me my portrait,
it's me and I must have it.

Art belongs to all, and
even if it is your portrait,

you've no rights.

I see.

I must find minks to convince you.

- It's so nice.
- Hello.

You look marvelous tonight,
Marina.

I'm Marina Ferri.

Don't pay attention to Audrey.

Of all the women I know,
she's the most dangerous.

Unless you can dominate her.

And I must say, I think
you're just the man.

This might turn out a
nice evening.

You know, you really
shouldn't mind Marina.

She's mad tonight.

Going to test the water of
the pool now, absolutely naked.

One catch though, no line.

Oh, fun, hurry, hurry.

This is something to see.

Now come on darling, drama.

Oh come on now, take
your clothes off.

So cheap.

You mustn't talk like that.

It makes you into a bloody
bourgeois, doesn't it darling?

I didn't hear what your name was.

Was it Dracula?

It wasn't mentioned.

But anyway, it's Bronco.

Now what do you say?

I'm hardly enchanted.

Let's get out.

What about Audrey?

She doesn't matter.

Take this, now.

That's him.

That's our man.

They're just a bunch of
petty snobs, don't you agree?

Where are we going?

I thought the party was boring
and I'd rather be here with you.

Or Professor Giorgio Borri?

Is that all we can talk about?

Sorry.

I thought you'd be
interested in his experiments

since you're engaged to him.

Don't you realize that
he's attempting

to use people in his experiment?

To paralyze man's willpower?

I have also tried this.

Where is he?

Take me to him.

I must see him.

Take me to where he is.

Then you must forget.

You must forget all of this.

Why do the swans act strangely?

I don't know.

Is that what they are?

Swans?

It must be very late.

Come on, come on, quickly.

All right, we're going right now.

Don't get angry.

I'll take you home and
then I'll get some sleep.

Operator number one calling
central police security and step on it.

Come in number one.

Julietta spider, 46628,
now departing Villaborgasi

heading towards Porta Pinchana.

You keep on them, huh?

Further orders will be issued.

Make sure you're in contact.

Major, this is urgent.

Will you step in here, Bob?

Yes?

These are the orders to
capture our man.

Set up controls and I want you
to supervise the whole thing.

Yes sir.

I'll be there with
you as soon as possible.

Yes, very well.

But don't wait for me.

Oh, keep in touch with us and
don't take any chances, will you?

I won't.

Please stay right where you are.

I must ask you and the
lady to come along with me

to the police commissioner.

It's just a matter of questioning.

What is it?!

The doctor, quickly.

Hold it, don't chase that man!

He mustn't be touched.

It may be very dangerous.

I'll go after him.

Stay away!

He never had a chance.

The man with the Geiger
counter's ascertained

that there was lots of radiation.

The way I see it, that
monster killed our man

with a touch of his hand
without the slightest trouble.

The man's radioactive.

We never should've tried to arrest him,
that was my mistake.

What are we going to do, sit
around and wait for orders?

Not at all.

We must stay close to him.

We must be alert to
anything that happens.

Organize a police surveillance

so that this man is under
constant watch.

But why is he in Rome?

And what has Professor Borri's
young lady to do with this case?

After all, he's not concerned,
Borri is.

The fact is that that
poor girl is in

constant danger from that maniac.

We must do something to
save her, Major.

What can we do?

After what happened, we
can't take any more chances.

If we make another mistake,
it could very well cause a catastrophe.

They said to bring
radiation suits, sir.

Put it up here.

The girl looks strange,
doesn't she?

This whole affair is a terrible
menace to everybody in the world.

Yes.

It's much too serious for
any one force to handle alone.

They have reported this last
event to the British Secret Service,

and we're awaiting
their instructions.

I hope these things work.

- Supposed to.
- Yes, he's right here.

Major Michelotti, the
Secret Service

and the Ministry of
Defense informs us

that all radar
installations in our zone

have been blocked, and General
Rossi wants to talk to you.

Hello sir, the major
is on the way.

Michelotti, General.

You've spoken to the US Air Force.

And they advise us to keep
him under surveillance

without taking him in.

Very well, sir.

At last they finally stopped.

He's getting out.

He's letting her escape.

Hello handsome,
listen, got a match?

Guess it's an important case, huh?

Up all night just tailing the guy.

Slow up a bit.

Hello Audrey.

Where did you and he go?

We just went for a drive.

I can hardly remember where.

He's really a very strange man.

Is he with you?

I dropped him near the river.

You dropped him?

That's right.

Oh, I know where he is, then.

You shouldn't have left me,
Marina.

After all, Stefano tried
to take me somewhere.

Well that's natural.

I'm tired, come on home.

Listen.

Must be the...

Hello, police security patrol.

Don't worry, Captain, we're
keeping on top of him every minute.

When are you free?

I don't know.

I will see you again.

Perhaps in a few days?

But my time here is short.

Why?

I'm going away again.

Well, how's Thursday?

That's too late.

Well, it's too late tonight.

I can't recall much of
what's happened this evening.

Only confused impressions,
like after you've been

dreaming a horrible nightmare.

How can you explain that?

Perhaps I'll
explain when we meet again.

Are you sure we will?

Really, I mustn't see you.

You have to.

Oh, all right.

Tomorrow morning.

Near the river where I left you.

Good night.

Who's she?

Doesn't matter.

- Hey, not bad.
- Hey, look!

Bronco.

I never thought I'd find you.

What are you doing here?

Psst, hey, come here baby.

I'm coming, now what?

Want a ride?

All right, let's go.

Just hang around.

About 10 minutes?

- Don't go away.
- Hey, wait a second.

I'm in a hurry!

Bronco, answer me, don't
look at me like that.

Wait.

I've been walking up and
down the street for hours

wondering where you were.

Please don't be like this, please.

Excuse me, I am not Bronco.

But you are, you must...

But you must be Bronco.

Give him a
minute, then follow him.

Bronco!

Just a second.

Isn't that...
Damn.

Must be two of them.

Twins?

What do we do?

We'd better call headquarters.

Car 223 calling headquarters.

Car 223 calling headquarters.

Hello, this is urgent.

Bronco.

I guess I drank a little too much.

But that other man looked
just like you.

But that doesn't matter.

The only thing that
matters is now,

and that at last I was
able to find you

and that you're here
alone with me.

Bronco.

Now who's that over there?

You have got to go.

You can't stay on the bed.

I don't know who he is.

He'll be a new friend,
isn't that enough?

Even though he runs off with...

Marina belongs to
Professor Borri, you know.

But the whole thing was
still my fault.

Come and kiss me.

Please, Bronco.

- Welcome Professor Miller.
- Glad to see you.

May I present General Rossi?

This is certainly a
great pleasure, Professor.

How do you do.

The others are waiting.

It's very good of
you to come to meet me.

That the painter was
murdered is definite.

But which one was responsible?

At least we know now
there are two,

and maybe even more of
these incredible creatures.

Of course, this explains
the simultaneous appearance

of what we thought was one man
in such widely separated places.

Now let us consider
again the odd circumstances

surrounding Landersen.

I do have a theory.

Are you still on Landersen?

But I can't see what
he had to do with this.

Because I can prove it.

Professor Miller, I
know your theory.

Science has gone so far in
the laboratory,

they can take human
beings and reproduce them.

So overdeveloped science
could overcome death too.

Perhaps, but that isn't
precisely what I have in mind.

In my viewpoint, we're confronted
by beings from another planet.

You mean outer space is
invading us, is that it?

To keep men from
reaching into space.

That explains our rocket
installations being demolished.

But how many do you think
there are down here,

to complete their evil work?

Two, 20, 1000, why
not, and then a million?

They send them down
when they want to.

What are we going to
do about that?

We must see they're destroyed,
and we must warn the people at once.

Apprising the whole
population of this

would be sure to set off a
panic that would be of no help.

I'm positive the whole
thing should be kept

absolutely secret, no
matter what the results.

Gentlemen, has it ever
occurred to any of you

that the mere fact that
this creature

has shown an interest in
the gas formula

of Professor Borri might
be of help to us?

What if we were to get him
down to the research institute

and examine him there
without his knowing it?

That's much too dangerous.

Just suppose he should
get hold of the gas.

We must take that risk.

It's the only
possibility I can see

to solve this mystery and work
out a plan in defense of humanity.

By producing this new type
of gas in great quantity,

we could actually paralyze the
entire population of a city

for two or three days.

Do you recognize this man?

Here.

Take a look.

No.

Who is he?

I've never seen him.

Oh, he's interested in the
work you're doing, Professor.

You mean,

a spy?

Well, we might say that.

And I, what should I do?

We're certain that
this man is going

to try to contact you, and you
must help us to carry out this plan.

Now...

And when was the last
time you saw Audrey?

That night at the party.

And you were there.

She was so drunk it
was unpleasant.

Basically though she was nice.

She liked you a lot, did
you know that?

It seemed that she was infatuated.

Infatuated with me, you mean?

She wanted an affair.

My, respect the poor girl,
but you didn't have the affair.

Audrey knew more than
was good for her.

She wanted the thrill
of the unknown.

Oh yes, absolutely.

There, that's better.

What do you mean?

Why do you say that?

I don't know.

We're becoming good
friends, it seems to me.

And I must say I'm glad.

Are most girls like you?

What do you mean?

What I mean is, your
shape is very beautiful.

My shape?

What a funny way to talk.

My shape?

I must say, you keep
surprising me.

I don't think there is
anyone else like me.

And if a girl did
exactly resemble me,

I'd change myself.

Hey.

Don't be like every
other man when he's

all alone with a girl,
it's not nice.

Go on.

I'd like you to tell me why you
wanted to see me again, Bronco.

Go ahead.

But it's hard to explain.

Let's talk about you.

What were you like as a baby?

I don't know.

I can't remember being
a child ever.

Just a second.

Let me see.

There.

Here's the money.

Somehow I don't know
just what you're like.

Sometimes you're
ingenuous, then mysterious.

Now I know your secret.

You're a baby.

And here's a nice toy, go ahead.

I won, I won, I won!

No.

Go on, go on.

Hurry up, get in.

Let's stop down here.

Bronco.

What are you looking at?

With you they could bring
a fresh spirit to the Earth,

and restore the world
to a new state.

What does that mean?

An invitation to romance?

I'm engaged, don't forget that.

I was asking about you.

I tell you I'm not human.

Don't say that.

You know you shouldn't.

What you know about me.

It's best not to ask, please.

You're not human, eh?

Well we'll see, all right?

Your lips, they're like ice.

Your gesture was quite moving.

I guess it is a primitive
sign of affection.

I have the power to judge you.

You people of this puny world

move swiftly towards your
own destruction.

You still fail to understand,
even after thousands of years,

what a magnificent gift life is.

Your planet, all of nature with
its own delightful mysteries.

Consider the world from
which I have come.

The shapeless creatures
who live in it,

but who in ages past
were also men and women,

each of them unique and
precious even as you.

Those men too made the foolish
mistakes that you are now repeating.

All science was theirs, and
they conquered all secrets

which preserve the
harmony of nature.

Now, you must forget.

Wake up.

Do you feel badly?

I was stupid to talk so much.

I was neglecting my mission,
and time is running out.

I can't betray them.

I can hear you, speak.

You are going to help me.

My mission is to help those
beings in some other place.

I must do it, I must.

Will you take me to Giorgio Borri?

Take you to Giorgio Borri.

Come on.

It's Marina.

Listen to me, Giorgio.

Someone here and I
want to ask you...

Well, have him come up.

But do you feel all right?

I'm going home and take a rest.

Will you ring me up later?

Yes, I'll be all right.

Yes Giorgio, I must go now.

There, it's done.

Giorgio expects you,
but I'm feeling strange.

I feel a beginning of a
cold and my head aches.

I must go home.

Don't touch her.

Go and call an ambulance.

Be sure to get them to
come here at once

with anti-radiation equipment.

Almost every day now, new
discoveries are being made,

which explain problems
which had been

unsolved mysteries the day before.

In time, undoubtedly,
man will learn to master

all of nature, the good, the bad.

And then mortality.

But then what happens to him?

All men are overconfident.

They disturb the
harmony of the world

without knowing the
mistakes they can make.

You've no faith in them,
in mankind?

They only value
themselves as humans.

They don't realize the
infinite realm of science.

Please.

They're going
toward the x-ray room.

I can just see them.

Come over here.

Here they are.

Our newest laboratory,
where we carry out

extensive experiments in
radioactivity.

Humanity is so tired.

Its nerves are broken and its
equilibrium is unbalanced.

Perhaps all of mankind should
have a long sleep, a rest.

You mean by the use of your
gas, Doctor, is that possible?

No, not exactly.

The effect of my gas is
much lighter.

It wouldn't last that long.

If used on a man, it
would not be dangerous,

it would rob him of
powers to act and speak.

Yes, I think so.

What is the formula of this gas?

Answer me.

Why is it taking so long?

It's done now, sir.

Someone is spying.

X-rays have penetrated this room.

But no no no, it's
normal, it's our procedure.

It's just that there's
a radioscope in there.

If you like, there's another
very interesting room.

Come with me down here.

That's him.

Here are the results
of my deception.

We now have an x-ray
of our weird adversary.

A well-defined skeleton made
of some metallic substance,

possibly steel.

Only one lung, clearly artificial.

Total absence of any
kind of heart whatsoever.

All this confirms my theory.

They are all robots, made in a
resemblance of Landersen's son.

Gentlemen, they're not
human, they're something

supernatural, and an enormous
force of destruction.

That explains it,
doesn't it Major?

We must find the
source of its power,

or it may destroy us all.

Isn't that so, General?

At any price, you must.

Captain Carlini, urgent,
they're calling you from the hospital.

Yes?

What is it?

Suspected radiation?

I'll be right there.

The girl has gone into a coma.

Let's go together.

That girl can undoubtedly
be of help, even now.

Get the injection, quickly,
and remove the shield.

And call Professor Demates.

The injection's ready, Doctor.

No visitors.

Captain Carloni, police.

Her heartbeat, Inspector.

What happened to you out there?

Your lips are like ice, Bronco.

Please say you're human, Bronco.

Well, I don't know.

Professor, Professor.

Professor, can you save her?

Sometimes there is a
miracle, but in this case

I'm sure her memory's gone.

I don't think we can
save her memory.

Let's hope she may forget
whatever she imagines she has seen.

That might be better.

Marina.

Tell us of Bronco.

What is Bronco's world like?

What did you discover?

Bronco.

Who?

On one of the distant
and unidentified planets,

some incalculable and
unrestrained scientific power

has violated the divine balance
that governs the laws of nature.

This power begins to
create numberless,

frightful human beings,
of which so far

we can only know the
vaguest examples.

Raise the screen, please.

Wait outside.

There we are.

We observed, for instance,
the phenomenon caused

by the atomic explosions on
Hiroshima during the last war.

These deformed beings
required a new environment,

one uncontaminated by
poisonous radiation.

Today we have only a general idea

of the creatures who live
on that mysterious planet,

but the Earth is for them
a marvelous, virginal place

where they can still
save themselves.

For this reason they have
transformed some of them

into creatures
resembling human beings,

and they have entrusted
each one of them

with specific missions,
in order to make ready

their preparations for their
mass migration to Earth.

They must be far ahead
of us, mustn't they?

In the nuclear area.

Undoubtedly.

But they refrain from their use,

lest they turn the Earth
into a planet of monsters.

Gentlemen, let me try to describe
for you what I believe happened.

We have to return to the
hour when one of their planes

forced Landersen's down
on the Sahara,

as it headed for the
Tangiers airport.

We can never know for sure just
what their plane looked like

or the weapons it used,
as the Landersens' plane

was completely demolished.

But one thing is certain.

Young Robert Landersen was on
that plane when it went down,

and as you can recall,
his body was never found,

which leads me to believe
that it served as the model

from which the creatures who are
now invading our planet were formed.

Probably they have developed
a scientific laboratory

of which we could only
have the vaguest idea.

But owing to their
superior scientific

and technological knowledge,
they have been able

to recreate such beings.

Either out of a pliable metal
or other mysterious substance,

they've developed a material
that appears to function

as human epidermis.

Out of their seemingly
unlimited knowledge,

they install an oversized
brain into this robot,

ready to carry out their orders.

Today, we are confronted
by these creatures,

who seem like men to
us, but are in reality

machines of
extraordinary intelligence

which pose an enormous threat
to our entire civilization,

both material and spiritual.

Watch it, there he is.

Where is he?

He disappeared.

Disappeared?

Turn back.

Car number five reporting.

Major Michelotti, we've
lost contact.

But how could they
have lost contact?

We can't
find him, he's disappeared.

What can they do?

Is it blocked again?

Post eight, post eight,
point 10A calling.

Sighting large unknown object.

Well no, our radar is blocked.

Last observed moving
southwest toward Lazio.

Will you call back?

Well then I'm pulling out.

Yes we will.

Thank you.

Bronco was last seen at
Professor Borri's.

Stayed there only a few minutes,

but the professor can't
remember a word he said.

He seemed to want Marina.

And the agents who were to follow?

They lost Bronco.

The men say he disappeared.

And the assistant to Borri?

Disintegrated.

The professor said that lying
on the floor were Bronco's gloves.

Good lord, do you
suppose he's taken

the gas formula away from
Professor Borri?

We will soon see.

There's one thing we must do.

Track him down no
matter where he is.

And no matter how many
men it costs.

I better telephone to Washington.

Major Michelotti,
institute plan X immediately.

Yes General.

But why was he
searching for Marina?

He must be in love with her.

It's a strange love.

Attention, attention.

All cars assigned to
police headquarters

prepare for plan X, emergency.

Prepare for plan X, emergency!

Everything set?

Plan X, emergency,
going into affect immediately.

This is an emergency.

Come on, hurry up,
let's get going.

All cars assigned to police
headquarters, effectuate plan X.

May I see your papers, please?

What's going on?

Sergeant, anything come in yet?

No, nothing yet, Major.

Control tower number four
to security headquarters.

Control tower number four
to security headquarters.

A civilian pilot reports an
unidentified flying object

he has spotted near
Castelle Delava.

It was impossible to
pursue it, as his plane

began to lose altitude
for some unknown reason.

Wouldn't you know it?

And our squadron is
patrolling another zone.

Listen Major, I'll pick up some
men and get out to Catelle Dalava.

- Right.
- Be careful.

Air Force extension one.

Michelotti here.

Cheer up, kids.

You're almost home.

I'll drop you off and then...

Car five calling
security headquarters.

Hello, hello.

The man is right here.

In front of the medical clinic.

Nothing I can do.

I've got two kids with me.

Hey, who's that?

Hide.

Down, get down.

Don't move.

Car number five, answer.

What the devil's happened?

- I've got you.
- I got you.

Escape, it's the police, go on!

It's a police car, go on!

Armed, stop.

I'm sorry sir, move ahead.

A security headquarters car.

Around here's where it'd be.

I don't see anything.

Neither do I.

I'd swear that was Bronco.

Quick, follow him.

Driver, stay at this distance.

Right sir.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

It's impossible, that
man was in here.

Use your camera.

Use your camera!

That's all that remains
of Bronco, Major Michelotti.

What is it?

Metal, that's all.

A mass of metal.

Anything else?

Just a moment, I'll look.

Here's something.

I found this object.

What is it?

A souvenir of St. Peter's.

Can you see it?

That's all that's left.

What is it?

They're making a movie over there.

They're always getting in the way.

The formula of the gas is
all right, don't you think so?

And so our battle is finished.

No, gentlemen, Bronco is finished,
but our struggle has only begun.

Other terrifying beings, not
much different from Bronco,

are all watching, lurking, prowling,
observing us from dark places.

Cleverly hidden among the
careless throngs

of every cities in
different population,

and they are powerful, ruthless,
maniacal.

Yes, it's a dreadful,
menacing, but silent invasion.

Even at this moment,
this very second,

there may be one of these
monsters right next to you,

watching, watching,
about to destroy you now.
